Happy Father's Day, Dad.
YOu are the reasons we are so strong.
No matter what mess we are in, you rescued us and told us you too made those mistakes when you were young.
You told us to look up and walk tall.
You told us to never take our eye off the ball.
You told us to face the bullies.
You showed us how to keep our tools looking new.
You took the garbage out and never once said it wasn't your job.
You drove us everywhere we needed to go; and places we wanted to go.
You taught us to drive, with a stick-shift, so we wouldn't get too comfortable with speed.
You taught us to do a good job, whether we liked it or not.
No matter how old we are, we feel whole and safe, knowing you are there watching out for us.
We love you, Dad.
For all you fathers, these and more are the thoughts your children have today. That tie you receive is the tie that binds us, the symbol we all jokingly pull out for this occasion.

A nice tribute to fathers :).
Wonderful tribute!
I enjoyed your post so much that I sent it out to my facebook friends. (under your blog with the link) Thanks for sharing your thoughts about fathers.
Hope you and your hubby enjoy a lovely Father's Day today!
I love the tie as a symbol.
Thank you,Rosaria. I tried to be all that, don't know how I've done though. Results vary from day to day.
One thing I did not do is teach driving with a stick shift. Had automatics long before the kids were born.
We gave them all driving school lessons for their 16th birthday. For the twins, it was a rather expensive gift.
Sounds like Dad did it all right!
Very sweet. Fathers are so important.
Great tribute to your dad.
What a wonderful tribute!
Allow me to share your warm thoughts. Hopefully my dad feels that I keep them in my heart even if we are so distant in this day....
